Fascinating how these dishonest hateful partisan hacks think they can blame Trump for all the division and derision Democrats engage in.

How Democrats relentlessly ratcheted up violent rhetoric against Trump before assassination attempt — comparing him to Hitler​

Democrats’ rhetoric stoking fear and hatred against former President Donald Trump — including repeated comparisons to Adolf Hitler — is coming into a harsh new light following the assassination attempt against him on Saturday.

Trump’s political opponents have long used incendiary language in response to his more controversial statements — commonly casting him as a cartoon villain hellbent on bringing about the end of democracy itself.

Their divisive statements frequently include tossing around words like “dictator” or making overt references to the Holocaust or Nazi Germany.

Republicans now blame this very rhetoric for stoking the assassination attempt that got Trump shot and left a hero firefighter dead and two others critically wounded.

Sen. Rick Scott (R-Fla.), who is vying to succeed Sen. Mitch McConnell as Senate Majority leader, wrote on X, “Democrats and liberals in the media have called Trump a fascist. They’ve compared him to Hitler. This isn’t some unfortunate incident, this was an assassination attempt by a madman inspired by the rhetoric of the radical left.”

Just last Monday, President Biden himself said it’s “time to put Trump in a bullseye” in a now-wince-inducing quote from a private call with hundreds of democratic donors, Politico reported at the time.

The unfortunate wording brought to mind remarks NY Democratic Rep. Dan Goldman made last November in an MSNBC interview with former White House press secretary Jen Psaki, saying Trump should be “eliminated” over his alleged role in the Jan. 6, 2021 Capitol riot.

“It is just unquestionable at this point that man cannot see public office again. He is not only unfit, he is destructive to our democracy, and he has to be eliminated,” the District 10 representative said.

Goldman later walked back his remarks in a post on X, saying he doesn’t condone “political violence.”

The official Biden-Harris HQ account also made a post on X in December with the heading “Trump Parrots Hitler” featuring a series of images of Trump and Hitler’s faces juxtaposed with quotes from each, which the campaign alleged were similar.

Casually comparing the former president to history’s greatest monster was apparently also a favorite pastime inside the Biden White House.

Young staffers including aides to President Biden have reportedly taken to calling Trump “Hitler Pig” behind closed doors.

In March, Rep. Vincente Gonzalez (D-Texas), was the target of strong criticism from Republicans after he compared Trump supporters of Hispanic origin to Jews supporting Hitler.

“The rhetoric you hear from the Republican Party is shameful and disgraceful for Latinos. And you know, when you see ‘Latinos for Trump,’ to me it is like seeing ‘Jews for Hitler,’ almost, you know?”

Trump’s 2016 rival Hillary Clinton threw a few shovelfuls of coal into the fear machine during an appearance on “The View” last November, when she warned a 2024 Trump victory “would be the end of our country as we know it.”

“Hitler was duly elected. All of a sudden somebody with those tendencies, dictatorial, authoritarian tendencies, would be like ‘OK we’re gonna shut this down, we’re gonna throw these people in jail.’ And they didn’t usually telegraph that. Trump is telling us what he intends to do,” she said. “Take him at his word.”

Comparisons to Hitler or other totalitarian dictators were being made as far back as during Trump’s first term.
